Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,
|
|
|
Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men,
|
|
|
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
|
|
|
We turn unfilled to Thee again.
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
|
|
|
Thou savest those that on Thee call;
|
|
|
To them that seek Thee, Thou art good,
|
|
|
To them that find Thee, all in all!
|
|
|
3
|
We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
|
|
|
And long to feast upon Thee still;
|
|
|
We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head,
|
|
|
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill!
|
|
|
|
|
4
|
Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
|
|
|
Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
|
|
|
Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
|
|
|
Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast.
|
|
|
5
|
O Lord, be Thou our strength and stay!
|
|
|
Make all our moments calm and bright,
|
|
|
Chase all dark thoughts of sin away,
|
|
|
Shed o'er us here Thy holy light.
